Full Metal Hipster #131 – The Best Trad Metal Albums of 2017

Greetings friends, long time no podcast. I know I’ve only recorded like one Full Metal Hipster episode since the beginning of November, but I promise I will rectify that starting now…because it’s List Season! That’s right, it’s that time of the year when metalheads the world over pour over magazines and blogs in order to get mad about someone else’s completely subjective list of music they enjoyed. In the spirit of the season (and because I’m a masochist) I’ve decided to produce a series of podcasts covering all the major subgenres of heavy metal. This is going to take a month or two so I hope you’re ready to hear a lot of good-ass music. To kick things off, you’re going to hear my picks for the five best traditional heavy metal albums of 2017. Crank that volume up and enjoy!
